I doubt it was very much like that. It was my mum that was there, and I doubt she was hawk eyeing him! Anyway he knows her as he sorted my grandad's shower too.
I hear now that plumbers charge £60 an hour anyway. Plumbers do alright.

another general public view i surpose.
thats before the tax, ni, fuel, tools, stationary, public liability, phone bill
the list is endless
but i take no notice of people views as they haven't got a clue.
Yeah I know they must have a lot of overheads I don't doubt that. I have nothing against plumbers, I am just trying to keep my costs down. You know - coming up to christmas and all.

Anyway, thanks guys for your help. Probably time to call a plumber now!!
turn the water off
there should be a valve near the shower
remove the compression water inlet
the filter is in there

Well, you see I am not even sure where to turn the water off. And its not just me the plumber that came 2 years ago spent most of his time looking where to do this. Wish I had been there now to see what he did.
Well, I just spoke to a very helpful local plumber and he suggested trying Triton customer services anyway - seeing as its just 1 month after the guarantee has ended - maybe I'll get someone equally helpful from Triton!

worth a shot ive always found them ok
Fingers crossed!
Well no luck. Triton are not nice. They said if it was 1 week after the end of the 2 year quarantee period then they would have sorted it, but 3 weeks is too long! They said that all they can do is send out an engineer but I would have to pay £90 upfront on a credit card before they even came out and then that would include them fixing it.

My son has one that did the same i.e. LP light on etc. Did all the usual checks, replaced the control board but still the same. Eventually traced the fault to a 100nf - X1 rated capacitor on the power board. This is part of the pressure sensing circuit electronics and was faulty. Replaced and now runs perfectly. Was also cheaper than a new power pcb. Realise most folk would not attempt this but get a good electrical or electronics guy to check it for you.
if its the pcb pt n0 7073333 its a common fault with this board.
badly soldered component.

Thanks seco services. Had tried re-soldering all the components to no avail. Being an electronics engineer I decided to trace the circuit out,(in the absence of a diagram) and fix it.
